Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the boiling water, shortening, sugar
and salt. Allow to stand 3 to 4 minutes or until shortening is melted and sugar is dissolved. Add the yeast mixture and eggs and mix well.
Add 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead).

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Form a 2 1/2-inch
ball. Roll into a 5-inch rope; shape into a knot. Repeat with remaining dough.

Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
